Yes they both made some mistakes but both rebounded from last week in the passing game but also showed more in the run game blocking then we have all year.

Agreed. No one is bringing this up but if that's the way our tackles are going to play the rest of the year, then we're okay. Props to Tucker for handling Barry most of the game.
 
I am very happy with our O-line today. But the stand out for me was Barber!! Rob SHOULD be doing well, and Tucker did okay as well, Barber really stepped up today and showed what hes got. He really impressed me with his blocking skills.
 
I told all you Pettiti haters after last week, he had a bad game. He's a rookie, there gonna have those kind of days. He played with a mean streak today

It got rediculous with Petiti bashing last week. He had a bad game, but boy it almost seemed like he never was any good to begin with, with the bashing he took. Typical fan reaction there.
 
when you lose a heart breaker like that, people tend to blame things on anything they can. I was really trying to make a case for Rob lasst week, and help people lay off him, but youre right, they werent having it.
 
Hate to say I told you so, but.....haha. For all of you who lambasted me for my post on Tucker, I knew he had it in him. Some players just take a little longer for the light to come on. You have to give him credit, though. Early on, it didn't look like he would make it out of TC, but BP had faith.

The best thing you can do for any 'O' lineman is call running plays. They just want to go out & hit somebody in the mouth. For guys like Pettiti & Tucker, you just keep it simple, let them know who to crush, and they will do just fine. I would rather have a player like those two, who don't seem too bright, but will do whatever you ask, than a Rogers, who is an intelligent coach's son that has no kohonas. Keep it up, guys!!!
 
Rob is going to be fine.........some forget "patience" is a virtue.
 
I dont know if its very fair to accuse them of being "not bright". Anytime you have a rookie LT out there and he does well against the likes of Kearse and Strahan, he's got a little more than just kohonas, he's got heart and hes got smarts, and he knows what hes doing! Rob has showed a lot of all those things and to say he isnt bright is doing him a grave injustice! JMO
 
Rob deserves his props fellas but c'mon now, let's give some props to Tucker. He did just protect Bledsoe's blindside from what Parcells said was the NFL's best pass rusher. Petitti didn't have to face a scrub either, but let's give Tucker a little love too.
 
I was a bit scared about Tucker, but he's played decently. He did have some lapses, but he was good run blocking, and pass blocking

Tucker played OK. I hardly think he played well.

Berry made him look like a turnstile a couple of times.

Petitti played much better as well.
 
there must have been a reason why Parcells kept Tucker on the squad and kept saying he's improving on the mental aspects, need to listen to Parcells more guys
